Have Yourself A Merry Little Reading Break

Traffic is terrible. An imminent influx of relatives is wracking your last nerve. You have a to-do list with far too little crossed off of it. The forecaster gleefully informs you how few shopping days are left even as she predicts a massive winter storm. And now some shipful of aliens called the Vogons wants to bulldoze our planet to make way for a hyperspatial express route?! (Although... the destruction of Earth would take care of your other sources of stress....) In the words of noted sci-fi humorist Douglas Adams, DON'T PANIC. The library's Speculative Fiction collection is here to help, with entire realms and galaxies ready for you to escape into!

Hey, it's hard to make merry when you're tense and distracted. Humor is a wonderful stress-reliever, and the titles I have listed below will bring tears to your eyes (in a good way). We have zany space pirat-- er, entrepreneurs, hilariously inept wizzards whose misspellings are legend, and zombies with vegetarian leanings (mmmh.... cabbagggge....) ready to scare you silly. Take a break, make yourself a cup of cocoa, and curl up with a good book for awhile. (You can use your to-do list as a bookmark.) And don't worry, you'll be safe from discovery-- in space, no one can hear you laugh.
